One of our favorite sites, we've stayed there twice. The best landing is on the north side; you tie up your canoes and climb rocks to get up to the elevated site, which has a stunning westward view of Knife Lake and beautiful sunsets. You can pitch three tents relatively easily, but more than that could get challenging. There are four trees in a near perfect square next to the firepit, which are convenient for hanging a rain fly. A large flat rock ledge on the waterfront is great for swimming (the water depth drops quickly, so you're in deep water immediately). There's a resident bear who wasn't shy about walking into our campsite the first afternoon we arrived. North around the point there's a cliff with a great jumping spot about 30 feet above the water's surface, landing you in deep water that's at least 30 feet deep and clear of rocks. We spent many hours jumping these cliffs and cooling off on a hot summer day!
